Actually there is more truth to that then people realize. I knew people who came on vacation 15 years ago... they loved it so much they never went home. They called their relatives, told them to see their house, etc and they've been here ever since.

I came 10 years ago for a week and never went back. I think it's something in the water... or it's all the naked chicks in Baytown... lol

Munichchick,

is like comparing apples to oranges ....I've been in Texas all my life so I'm Biased so my vote don't count.

My take is, if you cannot live in Belize, then live in Texas.
But we may have to move, I found a mosquito under my desk here in Texas today biting me.
It is now 5:00pm and 82 degrees.

Thank goodness we all don't want to live in the same place or the world would tip off its axis!
Actually I'm getting pretty ticked off about all the people who have been discovering Belize. I have 18 months before I can MOVE there (half time) and afraid all these immigrants will ruin the place for me. LOL
For the last five months before my trip in January I researched and dreamed of moving to San Pedro when I retired. I had a good plan and would not rush into anything. However, when I came home I realized how much I love my house and don't want to give it up. I am a typical American Pig!!! I want it all. And you know what -- we can have it all too. I think having it all is having the right attitude. But honesty, I'm thinking I may have to buy on Caye Caulker.

My front yard is full of Tulips which are in full bloom and the pruple Liliac on the side of the house burst forth it's first bloom today -- can the white Liliac be far behind?

America is the such a great place because all the Imigrants made it this way. Remember besides the native Indians your ancestors all came over as an Immigrant. Belize is in a way the wild west of the caribbean. Belize has been discovered a long, long time ago and this is why there is such an interesting colorful great mixture of people living there now. Just be glad you are close to retirement now. How do you think us younger people feel (34) that see every affordable nice location getting over crowded and expensive in this world? By the time I am 60 it will be very hard to find a unspoiled, affordable place to move to. That's why we are considerign doing it now and not wait until we are priced out of Belize. Just look at Cabo and Playa del Carmen than you know what I am talking about.

CHICK,
You are so right... We take at least 3 vacations a year..Been to several places we REALLY liked ,But when we go back later ,seemed as tho everything was higher..
probably was also at the places we didn't go back to also..Inflation!!! thought it had to have a stopping point, but so far it just keeps going up.. Good Luck on getting a retirement place.. I wish I had did that 25 yrs. ago but hindsite don't wear glasses!!!!!
Take my advice and do it ... One thing you won't ever see is an armoured truck in a funeral possession!!!!!!!!!!!!! JOHN

All kidding aside... according to the last demographics I saw, there are more Texans visiting and also staying permanently in Belize than from any other State in the Union. Believe it or not it has been this way since the beginning... for some reason Texans have always found a way to get to Belize and to the island. I'm slowing progressing... from Philly, to Texas to somewhere more southern...
